Yes, Burrahobbit, it's a look to be envied. But how did it come about that Hobbits are on average 3 1/2 feet tall with disproportionately big feet? Is it genetics or artifice?

I mean, the Chinese had foot binding. Did the Hobbits have foot stretching? The Good Professor just left us hanging by our toes on that question, spending far too much time explaining Elven family feuds and such like.
